purple, approaching to indigo; calyx sprinkled with minute hairs. 
Found. by Dr. Loomis in 1832, near Newbern, flowering in July. | 
3. Thyrsanthus * foridana. (Wisteria, Wutt. Apios, Ph. Glyci- 
ne, Willd.) 
A specimen which I hastily gathered in Florida, appeared to be- 
long to an undescribed species of the Thyrsanthus of Elliott, (the 
Wisteria of Nuttall,) perhaps the species referred to by Mr. N. IL. 116. 
In this specimen the upper lip of the calyx, instead of being “ trun- 
cate and emarginate,” was rounded and entire! the three equal di- 
visions of the lower lip shorter and less acuminate than in Thyrsan- 
thus frutescens, El. (Wisteria speciosa, Nutt.) Plant shrubby and 
twining, leaflets about 6 pair and an odd one, flowers perhaps a little 
paler, but in its whole habit strikingly resembling the “ Carolina Kid- 
ney-bean,” which has received from botanists such a host of names. 
4. Sarracenia * pulchella. 
Leaves three to four inches long, decumbent, purple, spotted near- 
ly all over with white; dorsal wing broad, lanceolate; appendix . 
nearly closing the tube, and shaped like the head of a parrot! Grows 
in the wet pine-barrens of Florida. Flowers in April. I am inform- 
ed that Mr. Nuttall had previously discovered this plant, and consi- 
dered it a new ape Scape about eight inches high, flowers pur- 
le. : : 
5. Argemone * georgiana. (White flowered Argemone.) See 
Nutt. and Ell. 
Petals usually eight, sometimes seven, white; capsules 5—6 
valved. Flowers in May.

1. Dionea muscipula. (Venus’s Fly-trap. ) 
When Mr. Nuttall published his “ Genera of North American 
_ Plants,” (1818) this curious and wonderful plant was only known to 
botanists as growing in the neighborhood of Wilmington, N. C. on 
the north side of the Cape Fear river. ‘Mr. N. traced it thence for 
fifty miles above. I first saw it in Bladen County, on Black river, a 
tributary of the Cape Fear. ‘Two years ago, Dr. Loomis and my- 
self found it in the neighborhood of Newbern, on both sides of 
Neuse river. Recently, in passing through the county of Duplin, 
N. C. I found it flowering, and in great abundance, in the wet pine- 
barrens of that county, associated with Sarracenia flava, and Liatris
